If your area cable company still doesn't have all of their wires underground, electrical storms can strike and cause the lines to have issues. The main issue is the fact that a storm can cut out your route to your closest router box back to your cable company, so the line has to re-route itself to another box, which slows down the connection and dumps you on OTHER peoples bandwidth.



This can, and will, happen, during a severe storm. Satellite is not the only connection to get hiccups during storms, it just gets hit the worst.



Bitching about lag is bitching about something that is way beyond any of anyones control, its petty, lag happens, deal with it. Most of the time, lag is on YOUR end. How many other people got lagged out at that exact same moment? Probably none. If so, it was most likely your end.

lag isn't on my end, dude:

Last time you were on, you disconnected while playing.

The gods have punished you appropriately.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=



Attention!



Exp. is 6x. Boss regen is 1/2, and none are over 36 hours.

You are allowed *1* Dupe once your first character hits 50.

This dupe is allowed to stay on as long as you have a character above

50. If you reroll your 50+ character, you lose your dupe until you have

another 50+ character.



Drop rates are +10%, none over 100% (Of course).

PVP is off. Do us all a favor and, in Mega, set PVP to 'Do nothing'.

I, nor anyone else, wants to hear anyone bitch because a roomspeller

walks into a room they're scripting in and casts a roomspell causing

them to hang.



DeathPile raiding is against the rules. Lims are unlimited, and users

are more than happy to give away un-used items. Don't rob someone, or

you won't like the consequence.



Stats are +40 to max, and there are a few new items in the realm, and

edits are being done slowly. For specs on all new items, simply 'look'

at the item. There is a MMUD Explorer database export on

MMB.FORUMSHQ.COM in the 'BBS Links' forum under the thread 'Tha

Phrancheyez'.

note that this is nowhere near cleanup....



and what you're talking about is possible speed, but not probable. this has been going on off and on since i got here. usually once or twice an hour for 10+ seconds each, usually not this bad.

Yes, yes it has been bad..and I don't know what to say or what to do. GENERALLY speaking, the lag isn't bad..spike here or there, like most places. Every day for the past few days, about the same time mid-day, the boards gone on a drop-almost-everyone rampage..I'm getting 'TCP/IP Error' scrolling in my audit, and everyone is just being kicked off..it's not everyone though, 2-3 outside characters with the acception of mine aren't getting kicked off. It truly is weird.



Unfortunately, aside from that, I have some bad news for the Legit realm. It appears that it has met the same fate as my last near-legit realm, and is basically dead. This last crash toted some rather hefty errors, the same as what happened last time. I do not know what to say to the players of it, other than that I am sorry, and if you would like to play in the other realm that I will compensate for your loss. I will match your exp PLUS some, as well as items, and some cash to get you going. I truly am sorry, I know how nerve-racking it is to play a legit realm and then it's gone.. it has happened to me far too many times. If you have any questions you know where to find me, and please feel free to ask..



That's all for now..I have to clean all of this up now.

do you do backups?

Nope..and as a matter of fact, i'm going to backup the other realm now..that just blows...sigh.

I don't have, nor do I know how to make it, backups done at cleanup..so I'd do them whenever I take the board down, but that's not often.

syn or someone else made a tut how to. search mmb for "wgsclean.bat"

got it.

Greetings Platters ~



Just wondering if there is a reason I haven't been able to connect since yesterday evening or this morning. I pop the address into my telnet window at work and it won't go through.



Kudos on the board work thus far. I've thoroughly enjoyed playing on it these last few days.



~Raiden

Inet's been down..and - AMAZINGLY - it went down during a storm yesterday! Hey Ray...this proves you're a RETARD who OBVIOUSLY doesn't know SHIT about what he's talking about..



Anyway..it's been down since yesterday, was down this morning, and it BEST NOT be down when I get home cuz them cocksuckers at RoadRunner are going to catch more shit then they can keep their hands on...I'm gettin something free, damnit...
